Cold Hard Ground

[Verse 1] The trouble all started when he took his gun from the rack A visit to the ol' workplace, let 'em all know he's back Thanks his lucky stars, the ol' boss was still around ‘cause tonight he'll be a sleepin' in the cold hard ground [Chorus] Cold hard ground, cold hard ground No one else is around Not in the old hard ground Cold hard ground, cold hard ground Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground [Verse 2] He took a little drive out to his ex-wife's place A bullet to the head, no one can hear her moan He felt a little bad that the dog would be all alone ’cause tonight she'll be a sleepin' in the cold hard ground [Chorus] Cold hard ground, cold hard ground No one else is around Not in the old hard ground Cold hard ground, cold hard ground Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground [Verse 3] A short-cut out to his sister's house She was watchin' the kids, just outside of town He killed 'em one by one, oh they didn't make a sound Tonight they'll all be lyin' in the cold hard ground [Chorus] Cold hard ground, cold hard ground No one else is around Not in the old hard ground Cold hard ground Cold hard ground Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground Let’s go! [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] The cops, they are a comin’ hot on your trail They say that every tombstone is written in Braille You don't want to live, you know you're Satan hell-bound! Tonight you'll be a lyin' in the cold hard ground [Chorus] Cold hard ground, cold hard ground No one else is around Not in the old hard ground Cold hard ground, cold hard ground Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground [Verse 5] Compared to all the others, my troubles are few As I pile this dirt into a little mound I say the lives of others are filled with sorrows of plenty At least they won't be lyin' in the cold hard ground [Chorus] Cold hard ground, cold hard ground No one else is around Not in the old hard ground Cold hard ground, cold hard ground Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground Cold hard ground, cold hard ground No one else is around Not in the old hard ground Cold hard ground, cold hard ground Tonight you'll be a lyin’ in the cold hard ground
